Caddy

Modern web server and reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS by default, built for simplicity compared to traditional web server configuration.

Overview

Caddy obtains and renews TLS certificates automatically out of the box, using a simple, readable configuration format instead of the more verbose syntax of older web servers - so serving HTTPS correctly requires no manual certificate setup at all. It handles reverse proxying, static file serving, and load balancing with sensible defaults.

Caddy is a fit for teams that want a straightforward, developer-friendly web server or reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS, a lighter-weight, simpler-to-configure alternative to Traefik or NGINX (also in this catalog) for teams that don't need Kubernetes-native service discovery.
